Chapter 128: If you want to get rich, build a road first

As soon as He Tianci returned to Tongliao, he fell into the trouble of relocating hungry people, and during He Tianci's absence, he all relied on Gan Zhiming and Su Houwen, two capable ministers, otherwise the entire Dongmeng would have been in chaos.

The resettlement of hungry people requires a large number of houses, even if they are replaced by tents and yurts, this is a lot of money, and a large number of immigrants have enough food, Xiliang, the old man, made a 150,000 immigrants for Dongmeng with his mouth, He Tianci is no longer busy Gan Zhiming and Su Houwen.

In just a few days, they were able to get the funds from the Daosheng Bank and the Zhengjin Bank loans, which alleviated the financial crisis in Dongmeng, and at the same time, Li Enyi directly used a part of the money to conveniently purchase a batch of grain in Tsarist Russia and Japan.

Although Suolun Mountain, Xing'an, Chifeng and other places are also assigned to the Dongmeng Town Guard Mansion, but this time to resettle the hungry people, He Tianci still intends to resettle the hungry people in the central agricultural and industrial areas with Tongliao and Taonan as the main body, even if these 150,000 people are added, the population of Dongmeng is less than 300,000, which can still be regarded as a vast and sparsely populated area.

However, if the 150,000 cheap labor force is concentrated in the industrial development zone, whether it is infrastructure construction or factory labor costs, it will be greatly reduced. The cheap labor of these people is the price. But it's a kind of luck that they can survive the famine.

After Xiliang wrote to the imperial court, the local officials quickly drove the hungry people onto the train, lest there be too many hungry people under his rule, and the official position would not be guaranteed. The eagerness of the local officials made the number of hungry people who originally went north from the Jinghan line more than He Tianci wanted, but since the people arrived in Dongmeng, He Tianci could not drive them back to Guannai.

However, the extra people made Gan Zhiming and Su Houwen very nerve-wracking, Xiliang moved his fingers, Gan Zhiming and Su Houwen didn't know how many legs they were going to break, and they all said that they were on stage for a minute. Ten years of work in the audience, Xiliang was sitting and shaking his fingers, Gan Zhiming and Su Houwen ran away from his legs, and finally under the threat of the two of them stacking burdens, He Tianci had to send a telegram to Xiliang, the hungry people had exceeded the agreed number, and the burden was heavy, so the matter came to an end.

Originally, He Tianci planned to move over 100,000, but later Xiliang raised the price once. and now 200,000, the plan can't catch up with the changes, and this incident also made He Tianci realize that he really can't eat a fat man, if it weren't for Gan Zhiming's preparation in advance, hoarding some of the grain plus the grain transported over Lao Maozi's side, He Tianci's side would have been unable to bear it.

Taonan has experience in relocating hungry people, and Gan Zhiming is very handy, but he still complains again and again. More than 200,000 immigrants Taonancheng directly shared half of the burden, accepting 100,000 immigrants. In the past, 10,000 people were placed in thousands of newly reclaimed farmland, and some of them were absorbed by the factories and some by the pastures. But this time it's 100,000.

Gan Zhiming could only give He Tianci another 20,000 people back, and there were quite a few factories in Tongliao, but 80,000 people poured in at once. It was saturated early, and after taking in 50,000 people, the remaining 30,000 people were returned to the Dongmeng Town Guard Mansion.

Taonan and Tongliao have a total of 150,000 immigrants, which is also the original budget, leaving no one to want. He Tianci can only pack and send it to Chifeng, after all, there are two large coal mines in Chifeng, which require a lot of labor, and there are also idle wastelands in the surrounding counties, but it should not be a problem to resettle 50,000 immigrants.

As for the remaining 10,000 people, they can only be resettled in the barren Solun Mountain and Xing'an area, the northwest of Xing'an is close to Tsarist Russia, and it is not possible to garrison it, so by the way, these young and middle-aged people will be used as development corps, Xing'an is extremely cold, and the cultivation period is short, but it is not a problem to feed more than 10,000 people.

In order to settle these hungry people, He Tianci ordered the training of the army to be interrupted, and sent his subordinates to disperse to various places to be responsible for maintaining order, and the 10,000 soldiers in a town actually seemed to be a little overstretched, and the hungry people placed in Tongliao and Taonan were well said, and the two associations of the eleventh town, the twenty-first association, and the twenty-second association were stationed in Taonan and Tongliao.

However, the hungry people who migrated to the area of Chifeng and Horon Mountain in Hung Yen had to rely on the newly formed militia group and the police station to take charge of this large-scale migration of the hungry people.

"Mr. Liu, this road will be handed over to you, in order to settle these hungry people, I even put on my underwear." More than 30,000 hungry people were arranged by Su Houwen to reclaim the famine, otherwise the pressure on food next year would be too great, and it would never be possible to buy it alone. The remaining 20,000 people were all arranged on this nearly 300-kilometer highway from Liao to Mukden.

Liu Hongsheng, whose name is Haomin, was born in Jiaozuo Road Mining School. Jiaozuo Road Mining School was the first road and mining institution of higher learning in the Qing Dynasty. Liu Hongsheng was originally invited to teach at the Road and Mine School, but Wang Yongqing refused to give in because he couldn't get used to the face of the British Fu Company, and later followed Li Xiaobo to Dongmeng and was placed in Tongliao to build a highway.

"Now that corruption is rampant among officials in various provinces, and officials at all levels are eager to suck the blood from the common people, the adults have used the entire effort of Dongmeng to build such a road of hundreds of kilometers and resettle 200,000 displaced people. In the admiration of the next, in the next must do their best, be sure not to disappoint the adults. Liu Hongsheng pushed the black frame, his hands were full of calluses, and he said with a little excitement.

I thought that knowledge could change the country, but when I was in Shanxi, not to mention the exploitation of foreigners, that is, local officials also set up centicards, Liu Hongsheng and Li Xiaobo were not used to these Chinese, and only came to Dongmeng, this time he Tianci came to Dongmeng to crack down on centikas, which made Liu Hongsheng admire.

"Okay, as long as Mr. Liu has this heart." He Tianci said with a smile: "If you want to get rich and build roads first, as long as you need it, you can mention it." ”

Although it was strange to listen to He Tianci's theory that he wanted to get rich and build roads first, Liu Hongsheng nodded, after all, when officials everywhere were busy looting the people's fat and people's ointment, there was still a person in Dongmeng who was thinking about the people and the country, and that was enough.

Liu Hongsheng looked at the endless distance in the distance, picked up the shovel in his hand again, straightened the rocker, and secretly said in his heart, even if it is difficult, he must open a road to Fengtian for Dongmeng. (To be continued......)
